The FPS Creator one room escape challenge.
Here is your chance to put the FPSC engine and your ideas to the test, attention to detail with this challenge is key.

The idea;
Build just ONE room in FPSC and setup a clever way to escape.

This is a challenge not a competition so there is no deadline and the prize is self respect and others thinking you're a smart ass!
This challenge will not only show others what you can do with FPSC but will inspire some great ideas of what can be done with the engine!

Minimum room sizes;
1 stack high, 4 segment blocks with 1 segment exit/winzone



Maximum room sizes;
3 stack high, 16 segment blocks with 1 segment exit/winzone





Of course anything in between the min & max is fine but no walls/stairs to break the room up, platforms are good and fences. You will need to create a unique challenge to escape the room so a door with a key just will not do!

You will need to submit full build game with a small story as to why you are stuck, feel free to use FPSC WIP & Showcase boards

Ideas to get you started;
Prison cell/Padded room
Trigger zones
Keys
Spawn

So get started and impress

I already started to make map, but it uses stairs in the room... so is it total no-no to use stairs?

stairs ok as long as they don't lead to separate enclosed room, so think platforms/stage/open seg block

How's this little comp going?

I would enter, but I'm concentrating on my DTO entry, which was actually originally based on a similar concept.

When I was trying to use FPSC on my old laptop, I would struggle to get over 15 fps with maps bigger than 5x5 so I went about trying to make a series of levels based on trying to escape small rooms.

Now that I've got a better system, the rooms grew so none of them could be entered into this now

A one room escape! and stairs are allowed,

Then it would not be a 1 room escape, as stair signyfies another part of a room if it has flooring if it has a floor at the bottom and a floor at the top =2 floors, and so 2 floors = 2 seperate rooms @ 2 differant levels, thus having one room at the bottom and one at the top = two rooms

So the Challenge should be called, Escape from 1 x Building and not a room! if there is levels of flooring being used.

But would be ok still if there is now other floors being used, just stairs to run up and down sort of thing.

Just thought i would mention this as i would like to take part but need to understand the rules.

As mentioend No walls, well can i use invisble walls either in segment form or entity, as the wall could not be seen, then would it still be allowed, as i wonna make a maze with invisible doors two and with invisible keys, infact everything invisible, enven the enemy. that would be fun for me to do so,

I could call the game ( A Clear Way out)

I'am not GOD but i can make you see again by taking my fingers out of your eyes and i can make you walk again by taking your beer away, but if you take my beer you will not walk again
